Just Enough to be Dangerous - 15 Jun 2004 21:38 GMT

I've read comments from Sue and Hollis but I'm still lost on how to extract data from Outlook surveys, other than one-by-one. Sue refers to "to view the Outlook folder in a table view." How does one do that? I'm not a programmer, so I have enough ability to create a custom survey form, but not enough to write code to extract the data. Thanks in advance for any help. And by the way, what is MS thinking? Lotus Notes has a simple survey capability. It's not as robust as MS but at least you can export the data to Excel with a couple of clicks.

To view a folder in a table view, choose View | (Arrange By in Outlook
2003) | Current View | Define Views and create a new table view. No
programming involved.

It's not obvious how, but you can use a PST file to back up your views.
Here's a link to an article I wrote on how to manage this:

In Outlook 2002 or later, you can also use the View.XML property to capture
all the view settings except automatic formatting rules.
